Sometimes it is a couple days after. Other times it can be right away. It sort of depends how it happened like if you were playing football and someone landed on your foot. That is an example of swelling and numbing. If you were to just fall, then that is an example of swelling and numbing after injury. It depends how hard you fell. If you fell quick and sturdy, it would numb and swell and that means you probably broke your toe(s) or your foot or feet. If someone landed on your foot then you probably just might have sprained it/strained it. Again, it depends on how hard you did it. If the swelling is right away and it is black, dark purple, and green, see a doctor as quick as you can. You probably broke it.
